The one where we make Christmas decorations {Review}

Baker Ross sent us a lovely selection of Christmas art and craft kits to review. Included was some very festive Gingerbread House Photo Frames and Santa Mix & Match Decoration Kits. We love arts & crafts, especially Christmas themed ones. These are the perfect creative activity for children.

First of all we tried out the gingerbread house frames!


The Gingerbread House Photo Frame Kits are priced at just £2.99 (currently on sale for £1.49 at the time of writing this review - An absolute bargain and I highly recommend!!) for a pack of five. Each kit includes five mini kits including the ginger bread house foam shapes, self adhesive stickers and ribbons - Everything you need to make your gingerbread house photo frames.


First of all we picked our our decorative stickers and then chose a 'Photo' to stick in our frame. We used old Christmas cards and cut them to the right shape. Ellie choose Santa! (This is also a great way to use old Christmas cards and gift tags. I'm all for recycling and re-using and this is a perfect craft activity for doing just that!)
After we had stuck the picture in the frame (no glue required as ALL the shapes and stickers are self adhesive) Ellie was all "YAY! Time to decorate and make my gingerbread house look Christmasy"
The decorative shapes are SO easy to use. You simply just peel off the back of each foam sticker shape and stick it in place on the gingerbread house. Ellie thought this was fantastic and really enjoyed sticking on her shapes!
The ribbon is very easy to thread through the (already pierced) hole. These would be perfect for hanging on the Christmas tree! We can't wait to put ours up next week and display our decorations!

Next we decided to make our Santa's using the Santa mix & match decoration kits.


Each kit includes six individual kits and everything you need to make your Santa decorations - Self Adhesive foam stickers, six Santa's and the ribbons to hang the Santa with.


First of all we picked our Santa's and then stuck on the decorations "I love Santa's glasses" Ellie told me. "I also really like the hats, they're super cool" Bless her.


Like the Photo Frames, the sticker decorations (belts, hats, glasses etc) are all self adhesive. No glue is needed and they make minimal mess (My kind of activity - No mess to clear up, haha)

The Santa mix & match decoration kits are priced at £2.99 and are well and truly worth every penny. They're fun, easy and very festive - Perfect for this time of year. We really enjoyed making these, too! Baker Ross sell such a wide range of Christmas arts and crafts for little ones, all very reasonably priced, too.

I am SO tempted to put our Christmas tree up now just to display our new decorations, hehe.
What's your favourite arts & crafts activity? Or what do you like most about the festive season?
